Arup Associates won a 2002 competition for a new bus station commissioned by Transport for London. Completed in 2005, the interchange takes the form of a canopy, three “ribbons” of steel, which sweep down to provide shelter for seating areas. The outside elements rise to 6.5m above street level, allowing wind to flush outside air over the top of double-decker buses. It ends in a dramatic cantilever at an angle of 20 degrees, supporting a 200m2 installation of photovoltaic panels. In an early example of urban informatics, the current and accumulated output of the PV system is displayed on a screen at street level, to put energy savings in context for the public.

Arup Associates赢得了2002年伦敦霍克斯沃尔交通枢纽项目的设计竞赛。完工于2005年的枢纽站，由三根钢“肋骨”组成的开放式雨篷遮蔽了主要交通区域，也为座位休息处遮风挡雨。悬挑的雨篷临街有6.5米的净高，让风可以自由地从双层巴士上部穿越过来。建筑外部在街道标高出设置了显示屏，展示了建筑上200多平米的光伏板收集了多少热能转化成电能投入使用，这是城市中很早的先例。
